With mask on our face, I and Jimin are lying on the bed.
"I'm glad you chose to contact me? But I'm jealous you contact Hoseok first before me." Jimin really have time to get jealous.
I giggled. "First, I thought you're still living in the mansion. You know that I'm banned to go there. I don't have your mobile number so there's no way I can contact you. Hoseok and I used to hangout together at his apartment, so of course, he's the one I will go to first."
"Jin, why didn't you just face him or at least talk to him instead of going to Hoseok? You have a child with him. You know for the sake of the child."
"First, if i went straight to the mansion, i'll find no one there since Taehyung sold it, so it's a fail. Second, He don't want to see me. How many times do I need to repeat that?" Hoseok, Jungkook and now Jimin.
"Taehyung wants to see you. Just face the truth." Jimin insists. He sat down to face me. "Why don't you want to believe me?"
The truth, my heart jumps in happiness when I first heard from Hoseok that Taehyung followed me in Haenam and Jeju. But I thought he's just saying that just for me to face Taehyung, apologiza and make amends.
When Jungkook confirmed it, I'm starting to be hopeful. And now Jimin said it again. But I'm too scared.
"Love is so cruel to me Jimin. I always end up alone just because of love and loving. I don't want to give other people the chance to hurt me again. I want to take things slow by now. I am too obsessed in searching for love. Betraying Taehyung and Jungkook for my father's love then betraying my father for Taehyung's love. I'm too selfish right? I want love to come naturally from now on. And right now, i just want to save some love for myself and for my child."
Jimin sighs. "I know. And that's what you should do."
"And yes you're right, I should face Taehyung one day. My heart is so heavy right now. I'm feeling so guilty leaving my baby. I miss him. I'm just trying to be strong. Besides, I know he's in good hands."
"I know that's painful but I guess what you did was right. At least you gave him to his father and not just to anyone. And you have a very good intention in leaving him. But, what if you already knew my number, will you contact me first? And just stay with me with your baby?" Jimin has a point there but that's not my plan.
"No. I will still ask you to give him to his father. And I don't want Taehyung to lose his trust on you. We already have too much of lies and betrayals Jimin. Let's not add more to that."
"And what am I doing now? I am keeping you instead of telling him that you're here." Jimin smirked.
"You're not. You will actually betray me right? You told me you want to message Taehyung that I'm here. You just changed your mind because I looked terrible." I rolled my eyes at him. As if I don't know his plans.
"Well, be honest, you liked my plan right?" He teased.
"All I want when I see Taehyung is to discuss the custody of our child. That's all. And besides, if I did not lose my damn wallet, I should be in Jeju by now. Sleeping and snoring in my bed. I should have not met Jungkook and I will not call you." Well, that's the truth. I'm about to buy my ticket back to the port but my wallet got stolen or lost.
"You saw Jungkook?" I can't see Jimin's expression because of the mask, but his voice seems surprised. "What was he doing there?"
"He said he followed Taehyung and Yoongi at the the station who went there to look for me." I said.
"Then why he didn't even ask you to live with him?" Jimin asked curiously.
I chuckled. "Jimin, Jungkook knew me well. We're brothers for 22 years When I said no, that's a no. And even if he insists, I will not come to him. Yes, we used to be brothers but I don't think that's right. We both knew that we are not blood related. And what if Taehyung discovered that I'm there with him? That would be another big mess. And I don't want another trouble. Besides, I don't want you to get jealous. I know you like Jungkook."
Jimin slapped my thigh and changed the topic. He went back lying beside me. "So I really thought that that they were having a meeting at the conference room. Turned out they were out there looking for you." Jimin sat down again. "If they went there, then why didn't they find you? Or you hide from them again you brat!"
"I'm not hiding excuse me!" I said. "Fate's hiding me from him. I know Hoseok will inform him that I came but I'm not expecting that he will follow me. If i didn't faint earlier, he probably would have seen me."
"You what?" Jimin asked.
"Fortunately, the doctor in Noori who took care of me before I escaped recognized me. She said I look exhausted so she gave me water and there, I passed out."
Jimin stared at me.
"Why?" Wondering, I asked him.
"And what was the doctor doing there?" He asked again as he removed the mask on his face. By the look of him, I know he has something else in mind.
"Jimin, do you know anything?"
"Can you still remember what happened to you that night Jin?"
I tried to collect my memories. "I met with Jungkook to return the stone. While walking, my father's men saw and shot me. Twice. I saw two men dragged me to a car. I passed out. When I woke up, I was in Noori. The doctor said two men brought me there. I assumed the two men who dragged me but they were my father's men. So I don't know."
"Your father's men died Jin. The car that took you crashed on the tree. The car burst into flame. We thought for a while that it was you on the back seat." Jimin narrated.
I think for a while. "Wait.. Yeah.. I have a faint memory of that. I heard gunshots before we crashed." I stared at Jimin. "So does it mean that someone else saved me?"
It took him a while before he answered me. "Before you escaped from the hospital, Yoongi and Namjoon were there to look for you. The hospital staffs were all very quiet about it and the cameras were not working. I was thinking that there was something wrong about the whole situation. Why on earth their cameras suddenly lost the footages?"
" Taehyung was so desperate that time and even wanted to sue the hospital. But like what Jungkook said, no use. Even if he sue them, your identity is not confirmed because you changed your name so we don't really know if that's really you and we cannot retrieve the footages even we all sent them to jail. Then suddenly, one doctor got fired because of negligence. I'm wondering if the doctor who got 'fired' and the doctor you saw at the station are the same?" Jimin looks confused and curious at the same time.
My heart started to beat faster. "So you mean, she's there for a purpose? And the water she gave to me was drugged?"
"If you really do feel exhausted and unwell, her being there and you fainting might be a coincidence. But if she's there intentionally, then your water might be drugged."
"So if that was drugged, it's possible that there's a mole inside Taehyung's company?" I asked.
Jimin nods. "If all are not coincidence, then, probably."
